This may well be the most evil book ever written. If ever a book deserved mass burning, this is it. There are 625,000 of these infernal things in print. The Pearls advocate torturing children in various way to beat the word of god and robot-like behaviour into them: starvation, freezing, beating, whipping to the point of death. A number of parents have killed their children following this book’s “Christian” advice. The authors are sadists attempting to train and excuse more sadists.
